A South Side man has been ordered held on $2 million bail, charged with stabbing
to death his wife as her two young children watched.

Keenan Jamison, 22,

Jamison cut his mother, prosecutors disclosed as Jamison appeared in court

the back door, not moving, prosecutors said. Officers were met at the door by
Jamison, who had blood on his hands and face, they said.

The two children
told the officers that their mother was by the back porch, prosecutors said.
Police said they found her unresponsive, lying in a pool of
blood.

Jamison later gave a videotaped confession to police, prosecutors
said.

NATO
summit protesters will get a chance to debate officials representing the
military alliance in the week leading up to the May 20-21 gathering of world
leaders in Chicago.

Protest organizer Andy Thayer said today he and
anti-NATO blogger Rick Rozoff will debate the merits of the North Atlantic
Treaty Organization on May 17 with a NATO spokesman, James Appathurai, and
Nicholas Burns, former U.S. ambassador to NATO.

The event was arranged by

The sunroof on Lamont Clark’s car shattered just after he crossed the Indiana
– Illinois border on his way home from buying cigarettes Wednesday night.

“We thought we had gotten hit by a car, we felt glass. I said ‘pull over,
pull over, pull over’ … and we looked up and the sun roof was totally smashed
in,” he told WGN-TV. “We don’t know if it was a gun, some people said it was a
BB-gun. We’re not sure. We don’t know.”Clark said his car was the sixth that
pulled over after suffering damage from what police initially believed to be
gunfire.

Police responded to a shots fired call in the area of 105th Street and
Indianapolis Avenue about 8:40 p.m., police said. Chicago police, along with
state troopers in Illinois and Indiana, shut down the Skyway for about two hours
Wednesday night to conduct a manhunt along the road.

The projectiels that damaged Clark’s car and others turned out to be rocks,
police said. A small pile of stones was found near the scene and police weren’t
able to locate any ballistic evidence to suggest a gun was used, police said.
The intersection is about 500 feet from Indiana.

Early reports from police said six or seven cars were hit by bullets. Police
later said seven windshields were damaged by rocks. Nobody was injured.

The reports brought a massive police response to the area. As the incident
wound down, more than a dozen marked and unmarked squad cars sat on 100th Street
between Ewing Avenue and and Avenue J. About 10 officers congregated near the
intersection of 100th Street and Avenue J, some of them wearing olive-green SWAT
uniforms.

Police opened the Skyway to traffic in both directions about 11:05 p.m.
Officers appeared to be leaving the area about 11:20 p.m. Chicago police
initially shut down the Skyway between 99th and 106th Streets but Illinois State
Police shut down access to the Skyway from the Dan Ryan Expressway about 9:40
p.m.

Nobody is in custody, and Area South detectives are continuing their
investigation
